“2025 starts today,” Evan Roth Smith on Mayor Adams’ growing scandals

Slingshot founding partner Evan Roth Smith spoke to City & State’s Sahalie Donaldson about the scandals facing Mayor Adams and what it means for his challengers waiting in the wings. 

Shortly after news broke that New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ lead fundraiser’s home was being raided by the FBI,  Democratic political consultant Evan Roth Smith posted on X that “2025 starts today.” 

“If this turns out to be something that is really mortally politically injuring to the mayor, it won’t just be a challenge from his left or a more minor political figure,” Roth Smith said. “It could be challenges from his own lane – another centrist or another moderate. Challenges from within his own base of support – another prominent Black politician whether from Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx.”
